Where to Stay
Sydney Contemporary week is one of the best excuses to visit Sydney – or to finally play tourist in your own city.
Our hotel partners are offering exclusive rates for Fair visitors, whether you’re flying in or simply making a night of it. Rooms fill fast during Fair week, we recommend you book early.
Ace Hotel Sydney lives in a rejuvenated, hundred-year-old Heritage Federation Warehouse building — home to the first brick kiln in Australia. Inspired by the vibrant neighbourhood, Ace Sydney is a communal space that offers casual, considered accommodations, designed with care by Flack Studio. Drawing inspiration from architect Robin Boyd’s paradigm-shifting book, The Australian Ugliness, the paintings of Indigenous Australian artist Albert Namatjira and the building site’s legacy of pottery and ceramic creation, Flack Studio has conjured a hotel that’s a deep homage to Australia. Inside the hotel, find original pieces by celebrated Australian artists, including Nadia Hernandez, Nell, Julia Gutman, Jason Phu and more.
Nestled against the CBD in Surry Hills, Ace is easily accessible by bus and train, and just a 9-minute drive to Carriageworks.
